July 2007 - Milwaukee Brewers
Manager and GM Fritsche

Another problem we had was outfield. We had at least six players who were supposed to be good enough to start (Hart, Hall, Jenkins and Gross on the Brewers squad, as well as Gwynn and Mench who terrorized AAA pitching).

In early July the Dodgers showed us a nice way out of our problem.

Trade:
RF Geoff Jenkins (.270 AVG, 13 HR, 30 RBI) + MR Steve Hammond (AAA - 4.22 ERA) for LF/1B James Loney (AAA - .306, 3 HR, 28 RBI) + MR/CL Justin Orenduff (AAA - 3.46 ERA, 11 S)

Of course Jenkins was a great Brewer hero, but he was not worth his 7,500,000. Loney is much younger, offers a bit more offense and less defense, but can play also 1B if Fielder goes down. Orenduff could make the mayors.

2007 All Star Selection's

The 2007 All Star Game was sadly cancelled as more than half of the selected players chose to boycott the game after a big Sammy Sosa, Barry Bonds and Julio Franco hormone scandal.
